Either way, our own exercise tends to be the first thing cut from the list. Something I am hugely passionate about is mums not losing themselves in this ‘people growing’ process. I was determined not to do that and most days I think I’m doing ok with a happy, content child in tow.

I run. It’s MY meditation. My little one is too big to push in a stroller now. It’s also very rare that I get the chance to go for a run outside or head to the gym so treadmill running is where it’s at for me.

Its prep but it’s worth it. I give her colouring in, her favourite DVD and snacks. Popcorn, cereal, biscuits, whatever works best for your little one.

I mostly do 5kms and need just under 30 mins. It’s not always Undisturbed but when my almost 4 year old starts getting restless she loves cheering mum on, all the more reason for me to up my speed and get it done quicker as the time is nigh!
